Parking: Fells Point , Little Italy and Harbor East

Parking in Fells Point on New Year's Eve or during the Fells Point Fun Festival (or, really, just on any Friday or Saturday night) can be challenging.

The waterfront neighborhood of cobblestone streets, founded in the 18th century, simply wasn't designed for cars. So it’s a good thing most of Fells Points bars are all in close walking distance to one another, so you only need to park your car once.

Most homes in Fells Point and nearby neighborhoods like Upper Fells Point, Butchers Hill, Canton and Little Italy don't have off-street parking. So, heavily residential areas are not a good place to find street parking. If you do park on the street, do not block alleys and driveways. Some areas such as Little Italy and Fells Point have only two-hour parking for non-residents, so read the signs carefully.

The area near Broadway Square in Fells Point has parking kiosks instead of parking meters. Find a parking spot then pay for a certain amount of time (this is usually limited to two hours) at the kiosk using a credit card or coins. Then put the reciept from the kiosk in your front window. While this is fairly inexpensive parking, the limited time and the difficulty finding a spot on the streets make it not a good option for everyone.

Best bets are parking garages in areas such as Fells Point, Little Italy and Harbor East.
